Capcom,

You really blew it. The unreadable font is an absolute show stopper. ALL text that appears on the bottom of my screen is a blurry and unreadable blob. I have no idea what's going on or what I'm supposed to be doing. Is my only option to buy a $1200.00 TV? Maybe you should do QA on older TVs, too. Not all of us have HDTVs. What a disappointment. I will definately rent your games from now on.

Seriously flawed

I have a FORTY-EIGHT inch television and I CANNOT SEE THE WRITING on the screen because it is too small!! Did Capcom expect people to play this in a movie theatre? They know better than this!
The controls are pitiful. I can't figure out what does what because an entire sentance of text is less than a half-inch long. Using a gun is near impossible as you have to stop and then aim, which takes about 15 seconds.
Plus its plain boring after the first 30 minutes. The game was advertised as being free-form, but you cannot do what you want to or go where you want to. It stinks.

Unplayable on most TVs and sucks anyway.

First off, as many other reviews have noted, the game text is unreadable due to its small size unless you have an HDTV. Perhaps Capcom will offer a patch via Live, but until then the game is largely unplayable.

And, even though it's a lot of fun to kill zombies with random stuff, the game sucks anyway. The save system is worse than Resident Evil, the time constraints pretty much kill off your ability to explore what would otherwise be an interesting environment and the gameplay is lousy.

I'd advise most people to just rent the game, have fun killing zombies until that gets old, and save about $50. If you really must buy it, you can probably just wait a few weeks and it'll be $25 for a used copy at EB/Gamestop since so many people bought it and can't play it.

UPDATE: Capcom will not be patching this game (9/13/2006).

Disgusting lack of detail

Does this game have zombies you can kill? Yes. Does it have any of the other features capcom promised us? NO. Not only is the main character annoying, and all of his buddies are dumb as dirt, the gameplay just isn't good. You cannot fire a gun without plenty of frustration and most likely you will miss your target. Don't try to understand the plot, there is none. The game allows you to interact with more objects than probably any game before it, but definitely not everything you hoped for. It's pretty much sword, wood, lawnmower and vehicle, and everything else is the same thing with a different name (baseball bat = wooden plank). Don't buy this game. If anything, play the demo or even enjoy it at a friend's house, but don't waste your money (or time).

Repetitive, SMALL text, bad game design.

This game is fun at first but gets VERY repetitive over time, plus the save system dont help. If you die you have three options, load, save character status and restart from the start, or turn off the console and put the DVD in the microwave oven so you dont have to play it ever again.

The text is VERY small so you can barely read it on a SDTV (Standard TV), in other words, if you have a SDTV stay AWAY from this game.

I thought I'd love coming face to face with an army of flesheating zombies. But sadly I was severely disappointed with this game.

The premise and glowing reviews lead me to conclude that the game would be a lot of fun - but after spending several hours with it I was left bored and irritated.

Loading...

Clumsy controls, out-of-date graphics, stupid save system, unreadable text (and I have an HDTV), that cell phone that kept grating on my very being, uninteresting storyline, unlikable protagonist -

Loading...

and did i mention the frequent loading screens? By the end I wanted the zombies to win. I then promptly sold the game to someone so it can claim another victim.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!

Great premise, terrible execution. Text in game is WAY too small to read. Sucks all of the enjoyment out of playing. Avoid this game and save your money!

If you are thinking about buying this game DON'T!!!
Its not even interestign or the least bit fun. The reviewers who give it 5 stars are probably working for the developers and tryign to sell more games. Don't fall for it, this ones a 65 dollar turd! 99 things wrong with it, but ill give you 10.
Text, where is it, i got a huge 1080p tv and can't see it.
Graphix suk, everything is square and right angles.
Weapons are weak and hard to aim.
Controlls are slow which is unforgivable in this system.
Bosses are impossible and you fight them over and over and over.
You can be attacked while the game is loading screens, but can't fight back.
Health and saves are spaced way too sparcely.
Aim system is cluncky, no, just done very poorly.
Camera works so poorly why bother puting it in the game.
Shut off the fricking Phone!!! Of the few repetitive sounds that are actually in the game the most prevelent is an obnoxious phone that won't stop ringing until you answer it which keeps you from being able to do anything but run around like zombie bait.
One Star is too many, capcom should be ashamed, and havok studios will never sell me another game as long as i live, and i hope this pile of a game sinks them like the titanic

Seriously broken.

"The reviewers who give it 5 stars are probably working for the developers and trying to sell more games. Don't fall for it, this ones a 65 dollar turd! 99 things wrong with it"

I totally agree.

Yea I read many positive reviews here. I'm sure they were PAID!
I have an enhanced Def TV and you can't read the text.
Or maybe you just need a $3000 TV to read the directions.
Will the XBOX be able to download a fix for this please? ITs UNPLAYABLE at the moment.
Terrible save system can bump you right back to the beginning after playing for HOURS!

Another thing I noticed is that reviews that state the truth are rated bad, so I know the PAID pushers are at work here.

Absolutely Horrible

This was without doubt, the most aggrivating game. I have never returned a game in my life and this will probably be my first. Life bars are pointless, because half the time you get attacked, it is fatal. You just have to sit there and watch yourself die no matter how much life u have nor how fast u try and hit the buttons. The text is so small on the screen, that if you don't have an HDTV and a magnifying glass, don't even bother trying to read it. A very dissapointing game from capcom. Shame on you.
